heard upon their arrival that thirteen leaders OF
the attack OF yesterday week ago upon the lsborers
at Colonel Schoonmskers works had been arrested
andiodged In the Fayette County Jail at Uniontown
One OF the arrested Is William Beistein who is

to which q majority of the strikers belong. His
reputed leadership in the raid OF 800 men abon.

the other members OF the executlys board. but his
arrest causes q comm0tIon ig the organization. Ex-
Congressman Boyle, at the instance OF Henry
CUchrane, the operator who shot and narrowly
escaped with his fe drew up the papers charging the
Dris5hers with conspiracy. Three OF the arrested men
are Hungarians. o negro and the rest Poles. The
arrests made just at daybreak by Captain Kelly,

It not for the law, this years earnings would
have proved the biggest in the railroad history OF this

my plniou, is gradually 30 augment the business OF
the trunk lines and then that of tne longer or round

A LARGE CITY.

If any one were to walk one way
through all the streets of London,
he would be obliged to go a distance
Of two thousand six hundred miles,
or as far as it is across the Amerl-
can continent from New York TO
San Francisco. This will give an
idea of what would have to be done
in order to see even the greater part
of London. J nt aasaf
In our approach to this city, as
well as in our rambles through its
streets, we shall not be struck so
much by it's splendid and imposing
appearance as9by its immensity.-
Go where we may, there seems to
be no end to the town. 1t is four
teen miles one way, and eight miles
the other, and contains a population
of nearly tour million people, which
is greater, indeed, than that OF
Switzerland or the kingdoms of
Denmark and Greece combined
We are told on good authority that
there are more Scotchmen in London
than in Edinburg, more Irishmen
than in Dublin, and more Jews than
in Palestine, with foreigners from
all parts of the world, including a
great number of Americans. Yet
there are so many Englishmen in
London, that one is not likely to
notice the presence of these people
of other nations. aH tsgrF.
This vast body Of citizens, some
so rich that they never can count
their money, and some so poor that
they never have any to count, eat
every year four hundred thousand
oxen, one and half million sheep,
eight million chickens and game
birds, not to speak of calves, hogs,
and diffenent kinds of fish. They
consume five hundred million oyster,
which, although it seems like a large
number, would only give, if equally
divided among all the people, one
oyster every third day to each per-
son. There are three d hundred
thousand servants IN LondoD,enough
people to make a large city; but as
this gives only one servant to each
dozen citizens, it is quite evident
that great many of the people
must wait on themselves. .l Things
are very unequally divided in Lon
don; and i have no doubt that in
stead of there being one servant to
twelve persons, some of the rich
lords and ladies have twelve SER
wants apiece.-From "King London"

The Hebrew Race.

America has the best, the strongest.
the manifest, the handsomest specimens
of the Hebrew race. As you go east
ward in Europe you seem to approach
nearer and nearer to the Shakespearean
type. While the Jew in Austria Hun
gary is through his financial power the
companion of the high social classes,
often of the nobility, and sometimes him
self ennobled, as a person in the lower
walks of life he preserves the humble
and submissive bearing which was until
late years everywhere his most notable
characteristic. The sufferance which
was the badge of all his tribe in Shake
speare's time continues to be his distinct
i've mark in the southeast of Europe.
The signs of it have almost disappeared
at Vienna, since his fellows have not
only taken possession of the banks
and all the great corporations; but in
Hungary, in the Danubian municipalities,
in Turkey and in Russia they are still
plainly visible. Buda- Pesth Cor. San
Francisco Chronicle.
